Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 397: My wife has too many friends, what can Leopard do?
Erniu lay beside the radiator, looking a little depressed.

Chen Ying just went to see the three cubs. They were sleeping soundly, smacking their little mouths. They looked as cute as cats and bugs.

After returning to the room, Chen Ying added food and water to the dog nanny as usual, and then sat cross-legged in front of Erniu.

"It's okay, Erniu. Once Sicub's illness is cured, I'll have them send him back."

Erniu tilted her head and said nothing, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

Ding Wen and Sun Qihai were unloading supplies outside, mainly nutritional supplements for the two animal mothers and their cubs, as well as some dog toys, cat toys and other things donated by fans.

Through the doors and windows, Ding Wen took a look inside the room and asked Sun Qihai.

"After sending the fourth child away, is Erniu a little unhappy?"

"Of course. Erniu is a very sensitive mother. She must be upset after losing a child. But we can only see if Brother Ying can persuade her."

Chen Ying lay down along the direction of the radiator and held Erniu in her arms.

The nanny dog ​​quietly poked half of her face out from the doghouse and secretly observed what the man and the leopard were doing.

"Erniu, it's okay. You're a very good mother. Look at how well the other three cubs are growing up."

"Woo woo, but some of the cubs are still not feeling well. Am I not eating enough?"

"Silly girl." Chen Ying leaned forward and pressed her cheek against its for a while. "No matter how strong a mother is, she can't guarantee that all her children will be healthy. Even among humans, there are cases where newborns are born with various diseases that cannot be rescued."

"Woof woof, I gave birth to seven, but only these three survived."

The mother dog next to them couldn't help but interrupt.

"It was too cold, and I couldn't find a suitable place, so I gave birth in a corner. Two of them died right after birth, and then two more froze to death. If the Twolegs hadn't saved us, the remaining three might not have survived."

The dog nanny said calmly, "During my wandering days, I saw many puppies die at birth. They were dogs, cats, and other stray animals. If the weather is too bad, adult dogs will also die."

"Ah'er?" Erniu never knew this. Although it had gone through hardships in the past two years, it lived a good life after meeting Chen Ying, and no big cat had ever told it these things.

It was the first time that the dog nanny took the initiative to approach Erniu.

It sniffed Erniu's body and licked her forehead.

"It's okay. You're lucky. The children are still alive. Just take good care of them. There's nothing else we can do."

She is a very insightful mother dog, with eyes that are full of wisdom and calmness.

Erniu seemed to be feeling better. She raised her head and gently bumped into the mother dog.

Noon is the time when two mothers watch their children take a nap.

Chen Ying asked Ding Wen and Sun Qihai to watch the surveillance at the station while he planned to ride a horse for a ride around.

After all, the great migration of Tibetan antelopes is about to begin. Even if this is not the main migration route for the Tibetan antelopes, no one knows whether any lost Tibetan antelopes will pass by here.

Taking a step back, other animals in the wilderness will temporarily avoid them and leave some important passages for the madly rushing antelope mothers.

After running more than three kilometers, Chen Ying took out a telescope to observe the surrounding situation.

Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be a wounded animal in the grass by the lake.

When we rode closer on horseback, we found that it was a young gazelle that was unable to stand.

This cub must have been born just two days ago and was already extremely weak from hunger.

Its mother was not around, and there was no sign of any herd of gazelles around.

Chen Ying dismounted and ran over to check on the condition of the little yellow sheep. She discovered that it had a congenital problem with its leg bones. Both of its front limbs were fractured when it was learning to stand after birth.

This cub, which is unable to stand and run, has to be abandoned by its mother helplessly.

Chen Ying took out a small blanket from her bag, wrapped the lamb in it, mounted the horse and ran back.

Fortunately, the weather is not cold now, and the hay in the woodshed where firewood and cow dung are stored is just right for treating the gazelle foal.

Ding Wen came over to help and quickly fixed the little yellow sheep's two front legs.

The little yellow sheep supported its body with the help of reinforcements and stood up tremblingly, but its hind legs were still a little weak.

Asking Ding Wen to help watch over the baby, Chen Ying went to get some milk powder to feed the baby.

Soon, after eating a bottle of milk powder, the little yellow lamb regained some strength and began to stick to Ding Wen.

Erniu followed Chen Ying quietly, stuck her head out to take a look, her eyes full of confusion.

"Oh, is this the snack prepared for me?"

Erniu thought, this is too small and not enough to eat.

The young yellow sheep felt Erniu's breath and backed away in fear, its butt against the wall, trembling. Chen Ying hugged Erniu's head and dragged it out.

"Don't make a fuss. This is not for you to eat. It's the cub I worked so hard to rescue."

Erniu slowly moved along with Chen Ying's strength, whimpered twice, and broke free from his grip.

"I'm going to go hunting. Please help me look after the kids."

"Where's the child's father?"

"Maybe he went to catch sheep." Erniu's eyes were a little evasive, "I'm not going to catch sheep, I'm going to catch rabbits."

"It doesn't matter. Do what you have to do and eat what you have to eat. Just don't harm the animals in the station."

Erniu immediately perked up and ran out at a trot.

After it left, the nanny dog ​​stuck her head out to take a look, then turned back and took out all five of her cubs, letting them crawl around the room.

The puppies are much more lively, while the fox cubs are obviously smaller. They don’t want to move after eating, so they just close their eyes and continue to sleep wherever their foster mother takes them out and puts them.

The nanny dog ​​licked the fur of the two fox cubs, cleaned them, and then lay down with her eyes closed to rest.

Chen Ying went to take the mat out of the doghouse, patted it clean on the wasteland, and put it on a wooden rack to dry, planning to put it back in later.

Ding Wen originally planned to stay here for two more days, but today a yellow sheep baby appeared. It was obvious that the rest stop was not suitable for adopting an injured sheep, so it had to be sent to the Heyuan Rescue Center.

The management station is busy protecting Tibetan antelopes and has no time to take care of the gazelle calves.

Do it sooner rather than later.

Ding Wen cleaned the back of the car, spread hay on it, put the lamb in, locked the door and drove away.

He had never been here before. This time, he said hello to Chen Ying and prepared to send the yellow sheep back to the Heyuan Rescue Center before going to Yin Li's station to help with patrolling.

He is not adapted to the environment and climate in the no-man's land, but he can help guide riders and maintain order on the national highway.

After sending Ding Wen away, Sun Qihai continued to monitor the situation. The three snow leopard cubs in the den were playing stacking games. The unlucky third sister was pinned at the bottom by her two brothers and opened her mouth to ask for help.

Unfortunately, no one could help it even if it shouted at the top of its lungs.

About two hours later, the big snow leopard came back first.

With a full belly, it brought back a half-grown wild donkey.

It looked outside the den for a while, left the wild donkey aside, and went back to the next animal shed to sleep.

The animal shed next door had not been specially decorated before, but after the big snow leopard stayed to protect Erniu and her baby, Chen Ying found a way to build a mixed-style den using stones and wood, as well as the insulation boards and waterproof cloth that had not been used before.

It imitates a rock crevice, which is filled with a layer of dry grass and twigs.

The snow leopard was quite satisfied.

Although this cave is not as big as the previous one, it is warm and comfortable to sleep in.

The big snow leopard, having eaten and drunk its fill, soon fell asleep.

After a while, Erniu also came back.

Judging from the size of its belly, it didn't eat as much as a snow leopard, but it definitely had a full meal.

After seeing the wild donkey, it lowered its head slightly and sniffed. After confirming that it was dropped by the snow leopard, it bit the prey's neck and planned to take the wild donkey out to treat its friends to a meal.

In the grass more than 20 meters away, a gray-white lynx was lying gracefully. When it saw Erniu coming, it yawned lazily and stood up to greet it... and the prey it brought.

"Where did you drag this from?"

They had clearly been hunting together before, so how come one of them had an extra piece of meat when it came back?

The gray lynx watched Erniu dragging the meat towards him with difficulty, and looked up vigilantly behind Erniu.

The snow leopard smelled a scent that didn't belong here in its sleep. It felt like it seemed to have smelled it somewhere before, but it didn't pose any threat to it.

He was planning to continue sleeping, but suddenly he remembered that there was his wife and a weak child next door who could be killed by a slap. He forced himself to be strong and came out of the cave, wanting to see which animal was so desperate as to harass his wife and child.

The familiar gray-white color appeared in the eyes of the snow leopard. After thinking for a while, it dug out the owner of this shadow from a corner of its memory.

Oh, it’s my wife’s weird best friend.

The word "best friend" was given to it by Erniu. Its best friend is a golden-red lynx, whose territory is not here. It met the two-legged beast when it came here to play.

The snow leopard doesn’t understand, but that doesn’t stop it from knowing that this thing won’t hurt its wife.

But to be on the safe side, it jumped onto the high wooden platform and took a nap while being wary of other animals approaching its weak and helpless children.
